Once upon a time, a wise old man lived in a village. He had three married sons. As he was poor and without possessions, he had no inheritance to give his sons except for advice.

On his death bed, the wise man called his sons to give them three pieces of advice. First, not tell all their secrets to their wives. Second, not to make friends or enemies with any policeman. Third, to eat the heads of thousands of small fish to save money, instead of one big fish or meat.

Baffwa mòrezar forey fuã tinnuwaye bafór àwseyat hota ginnorey fonnãy. Kinto Fuã cóñço wáye nézar bibi ray becí ãdor góraday ettallah bafor hota békkon mane loinofare. Ittathon aro uggwa beshi hansor folic fuwãijja yu ashel.

After his death, the three sons listened to their father’s advice carefully. But the youngest son was skeptical because he loved and believed in his wife very much. He also had a close friend who was a policeman.

Aey baffór bodegin sóye ney saibollah faisalah goizhay. Ekdin fuã cónço waye foól khoir uggwá re mãre sãlar bóssat bóre raíkhey.

He decided to test the advice. One day, the youngest son killed a mad dog and put it in a gunny sack.

Ittey lówaysòway bóssawaré górót loijaiyeray bi bi re hoday “Aññi añár dushmónóray mãrefelaye. Ehón aññi héfazát ase. Añarey hónikay hótara gori nofaribo.

He took the bloody gunny sack home and told his wife: “I killed my enemy. Now I am safe, no one can harm me. But you have to keep it secret until I can find a place to bury the dead body.” He lied to his wife so she believed he had really murdered a man.

After hearing this, she was bursting with excitement to share the secret. She emptied all the water vessels in the house to have an excuse to go to the village well.

Fatqua mare, Iba ye ibbãr uggwá fuwáijjare lóót fayerar manush uggwá re marifelaiyeday yan buzayeh.

The man pleaded with his friend for help. Finally, he realized that no one would help him.

At court, he denied that he had murdered a man. He explained that he had killed only a mad dog that had bitten many people in the village.

The judge ordered the investigation team to search the youngest son’s house. If the man had told the truth, he would be free.

After all of this, the three sons abided by their father’s advice. Because they ate the heads of thousands of small fish to save money, they all became rich and had many possessions. They decided to keep the secrets and not tell anyone about the three pieces of advice.

Best known among his friends as ‘Khan’, Enayet learned to draw in his early childhood. ‘I made my first saba-tula (portrait drawing) when I was 7 years old.’ ‘For me, the meaning of drawing is my way to preserve memories. In that process, I am able to transform good and bad feelings through drawing.’ He said.

Enayet has a reserved character, he is generally shy conversing with strangers. ‘When I was promoted from class 9 in Maungdaw Haairpara high school to class 10 in Howor Bill school in Myanmar, I had no friends there. The boys in the class did not mix with me because I was new. I felt lonely.’ One day he got caught drawing a portrait of the teacher in the middle of the class. The teacher quickly realized Enayet’s artwork was very impressive, and everyone in the classroom was excited to see the portrait. ‘After that day, most of the boys became my friends. They started to like my drawings and portraits.’ Enayet received an award for making a portrait of the head master of his high school.

He is one of the first recipients of the young artists fellowship, a pilot project from the Cultural Memory Center nurturing the talent of Rohingya artists. He believes the CMC project is a great opportunity to practice art and to become a good artist. ‘It’s a good cultural education initiative for our younger generation.’ He proudly says. After seeing the CMC artefact collection, he got emotional reconnecting with his past. ‘I like the miniature house models. We had exactly the same house in Maungdaw. My father was a professional carpenter in Myanmar. He built our own tatta ghor (wooden house).’
